SAN FRANCISCO--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Riverbed Technology, the application performance company, will showcase
a set of software-defined and application-centric solutions at AWS
re:Invent 2016 in Las Vegas to help businesses capitalize on their
digital transformation goals.

Due to the rise of digital and cloud strategies, digital transformation
is driving disruption across all industries and is requiring businesses
to rethink their approach to networking. However, IDC predicts that by
2017, 60% of digital transformation initiatives will be unable to scale
due to a lack of a strategic architecture.1 To address these
challenges, Riverbed is delivering solutions to help businesses
transition from legacy hardware to a new software-defined and
cloud-centric approach to networking. At the conference, attendees will
learn how Riverbed delivers the tools they need to understand, simplify,
optimize, protect, and orchestrate applications and data across the
hybrid enterprise, and extending into the cloud with Amazon Web Services
(AWS), in order to capitalize on their digital transformation
initiatives.

Riverbed will showcase its application-defined SD-WAN solution,
SteelConnect, which provides an intelligent and simplified approach to
designing, deploying, and managing distributed networks, and provides
single-click and instant provisioning into AWS environments.
SteelConnect is the industry’s first and only product to unify network
connectivity and orchestration of application delivery across hybrid
WANs, remote LANs and cloud networks. Following a successful early
access launch of SteelConnect in April, Riverbed launched SteelConnect
2.0 in September, which offers richer integration with SteelHead WAN
optimization, full SteelCentral visibility, dynamic routing, and greater
scale for large enterprise deployments.

SteelConnect is already gaining traction and driving results for
customers globally. SimplePay, an Australian-based payment processing
company, is using SteelConnect as the backbone of a software-defined
infrastructure to scale its business globally, and provide one-click
connectivity to AWS and the cloud. For SimplePay, SteelConnect supplies
the internal connection between all of the virtual clouds SimplePay runs
in AWS and provides a consistent and secure connection anywhere in the
world, allowing them to deploy and connect new infrastructure anywhere
within minutes.

At AWS re:Invent, Riverbed is also partnering with Verizon to announce
an AWS Direct Connect Bundle, which combines Riverbed’s industry-leading
SteelHead™ WAN optimization solution, Verizon’s Secure Cloud
Interconnect and Virtual Network Services solutions, and AWS’ Direct
Connect solution into a single offering to support hybrid cloud
environments. With this solution, enterprise customers can connect their
branch offices and data centers to AWS environments through managed,
secure and optimized network services. Learn

Scale AWS Deployments with Cloud-enabled SD-WAN:
Software-defined networking offers a radically new approach to
simplify networking in a cloud-centric world. Riverbed’s SD-WAN
solution SteelConnect is uniquely designed to enable cloud workloads
to provide the performance and agility that customers demand. Be it
securely connecting existing branch offices of an organization to the
AWS cloud, or peering between two or more AWS data centers in
distributed regions, SteelConnect automates the processes to enable
organizations to accelerate their cloud-first strategies.

Protect and Consolidate Remote Data in AWS: Riverbed
SteelFusion and SteelConnect bring together an industry-leading SD-WAN
solution, best-of-breed virtualization, intelligent storage caching
and WAN optimization in a solution designed expressly for those remote
edge locations. SteelFusion enables businesses to scale operations
more effectively at the edge while consolidating data at the primary
data center for security. Integrated with AWS, it brings the agility
of hybrid cloud, so organizations can leverage the AWS cloud as a
secondary storage tier for added capacity, for cloud-based backup, or
for storage tiering in conjunction with private data center storage
assets.

Monitor, Troubleshoot & Accelerate Apps in AWS: Enterprises
are migrating to the cloud every day and need visibility into those
apps when moving to AWS. SteelCentral AppInternals provides
enterprises with software that monitors applications in the cloud and
the data center continuously to trace transactions from end-users to
the application back-end, providing end user experience insights and
application analytics. SteelCentral Aternity adds further value by
monitoring the end-user’s devices to identify any issues. Combined
with the other components of the SteelCentral suite, AppInternals and
Aternity give an unequaled view of performance from the user’s
device(s), across the wire and into the back-end tiers of the
application.

Application Performance Infrastructure, delivering the most complete
platform for the hybrid enterprise to ensure applications perform as
